Finitec is able to supply for example Project Managers with critical business substance from CRM and integration as well as e-commerce, among other things. The combination between business substance and program management in the same person is very uncommon and yet, critical in executing a successful project. The service provided by Finitec is to-the-point and flexible. It has been easy to be a client when all you have to do is pick out the best from the very best. If and when needed, Finitec also comes with fast problem solving skills in a way that demonstrates true understanding of the clients concerns. This also is very uncommon. Finitec delivers!

Wunderdog Oy established in 2014 and evolving fast

2014 will always be a significant year for Wunderdog being that it was our founding year. The company kicked-off with a spectacular crew of highly motivated, passionate and experienced individuals all working toward the common goal of creating a software development company, which cares above all about the quality of the work they do. For us, just as for any new company, the early days are challenging and essential in creating a solid foundation for the future. Which is why every new client project acquired was a major win for us. During the course of the Autumn our projects with well-known clients took off and our newly formed Wunderdog family grew by several accomplished professionals, who will help shape Wunderdog into the company that we strive to be.

Here are a few of our highlights from 2014:

Founding of Wunderdog Oy in May

Operations started in August

Renovation and completion of our first office adjacent to Finitec on Annankatu

Overall, 2014 proved to be a great year to start building a strong foundation for the company, ensuring the right building blocks for our future growth and development. 2015 will see Wunderdog continue to mould its own company culture and expand in size by hiring like-minded professionals, as well as establish a strong brand presence within the industry and make an imprint on it. Like 2014, this year will be a year of many firsts for us with our main focus on striving for growth and excellence!

We wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a sparkly New Year with plenty of success, good times and love!

Mötley Crue and Finitec High Voltage III - a kick start to the summer!

13.06.2012

On Thursday June the 7th, Rockin’ Hellsinki kicked off a great start to the summer! We had beautiful sunny, warm weather which helped take all Finitec’s IT Super Stars to the “wild side”. We started with a quick “pit stop” at On the Rocks and then continued on to the main event with quality VIP treatment in Kaisaniemi . Here we had great food, drinks and of course entertainment from Mötley Crue and the supporting acts. Many new discoveries and powerful experiences ensued, including testing out some awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles, seeing Tommy Lee perform an epic drum solo whilst upside down on a rollercoaster, Dr. Feelgood and of course Girls, Girls, Girls. This really was an evening to remember and thanks to all those that joined us and took part for making it even greater!

Finitec wishes you all a fantastic summer and we hope to see you again next year for High Voltage IV!

Finitec continues to take market share on the way to becoming the market leader!

2011 was a record year for Finitec with growth of 48% and a significant improvement in profitability of 89%. Finitec is in a solid growth phase and continue to challenge the market conditions as well as the competition. The local Finnish market conditions have changed during the year and only by leveraging more value to clients, is it possible to grow and operate profitably in the business. Finitec has been accepted into many new companies as a strategic partner to support business objectives and competitiveness by delivering tip-of-the-spear IT professionals. These architects of change have superior experience and track record and for this reason they are able to execute key strategies effectively and deliver desired business results.

The market is changing and industry leading companies are beginning to realize the value that Finitec can offer with “tip-of-the-spear” IT consultants and the importance of in-depth customer business understanding. Remarkable investments have been made in this area by developing the organization with efficient internal training programs. In addition to this, investments have been made in building the Finitec brand with long term PR –marketing activities and social events such as the Kaarina Marathon where Finitec was a co-organizer and key sponsor. Several hundred active runners took part in the event from all over Finland and abroad. Some highlights can be seen from the pics below:

Finitec has also invested in developing new Clients and exciting opportunities for IT Superstars outside of Finland, recently signing agreements with major companies in Norway and Sweden. Coupled with our existing links to Clients within Scandinavia and Europe we are able to offer our Consultants an even wider range of interesting projects in attractive locations!

During the spring Finitec was chosen as a partner for the Nokia Bridge program to help future entrepreneurs in finding their first clients, set up new companies and boost innovations. This will continue to crystallize the value of Finitec to industry leading local and international companies in their strategic IT development projects.
